I made it 30 minutes before tapping out. Paul is so friggin' boring.

[TravisBicklesMohawk]

I will still check it out.


This is one of the interview shows I actually enjoy watching.

[NeonKnite]

What could Paul (or Gene) say at this point that would interest anybody?

[Hatchets Molly]

What could Paul (or Gene) say at this point that would interest anybody?

That's my point. I don't know if I'd have stuck with it if Steve had gotten past the history and fangirl questions. I'd be more interested if he talked about what he felt knowing it was over—no more tours, no more albums—what the latest was on the avatars, and what else he was doing in retirement.

i watched it all, It wasn't bad. interesting.

One thing I did notice was Paul must have one leg that's shorter than the other. his shoes are different. go to 55:18 and see for your self. There are more shots of both of his feet but that's the first one I wrote down

Apparently that's common with hip replacement surgery.

I actually liked this... felt like Paul was very honest and real... not sure why there is so much hate for the guy or KISS.

And... Steve-O seems to be relaxed, well spoken and way more in control of himself than usually is the case.

Paul Stanley is a true legend and an easy target.

Glad he is doing interviews with newer hosts and what not. Paul without the token KISS veneer is more of an interesting individual than Paul with the face paint.

The reason for the hate towards Paul is the way he treated Eric Carr. Unlike Gene, he’s never had much of anything nice to say about Eric and he almost acted as if his death was a big weight lifted off his shoulders so he could now get his boy, Eric Singer in the band. I’m thoroughly convinced had Eric Carr not passed away, Eric Singer still would have taken his place.

He acts like they couldn’t wait for Eric in the hospital but they took a year off in 1987 so Paul could bring in Ron Nevison for Crazy Nights. They also delayed the Revenge tour so Paul could get married. It’s not a good look and hypocritical. I realize Eric was an employee but that makes it even worse.

Another issue with Paul is, his writing in the 80s just wasn’t that good nor was his leadership. Everyone, including Paul wants to blame Gene. But it was Paul who was denying the band had been reduced to the Paul and Gene Show while simultaneously minimizing both Eric and Bruce. See the Exposed home video.

Sometimes I don’t blame Peter Criss when Paul tells the stories of Peter throwing drum sticks at him onstage in the late 70s. Paul probably deserved it.

Boring interview but that's Steve-O's fault for the weak questions, lack of follow-ups and general lack of knowledge about basic Kiss stuff. He could easily have pushed the interview in interesting directions if he had half a brain cell left.

[Nemesis72]

i find steve o's voice absolutely horrible to listen to .... doesn't matter who the guest is with voice like that he shouldnt be a podcaster

I had to turn this one off. The only reason I think mustaine came on is because they both rescue dogs or something.

Try this. Set a timer for 1 minute close your eyes and free your mind of any thought and just concentrate on your breathing. You get that worked out good go for longer periods. Your welcome.

Oh, so you were there?

It's always great when some "random" starts telling the world all of the details of what happened behind the scene decades ago in some famous band they have literally NO connection with other than hearing their songs on the radio.

No, but Gary Corbett was and he had plenty to say about it publicly while he was alive.

So was Eric’s longtime and surviving girlfriend, Carrie Stevens. Who has also stated her point of view and feelings towards the band and how they handled or failed to handle Eric’s illness and untimely death. Unlike Paul, Gene invited Carrie to be interviewed by his magazine Tongue. He interviewed her and allowed her to air all of her grievances against him, Paul and the band. He also put her on the cover.

It’s common knowledge amongst fans that Eric’s family was also not real happy with the band during their whole ordeal.

By the time of Eric’s death in November 1991, I had been a fan of that band for 13 years. I was a big fan of Eric’s tenure and was a huge fan at the time of his death. I had seen them on their previous tour as well. When Eric was sick in the hospital I had gone to see the new Bill and Ted movie, which featured God Gave Rock N Roll. A few months later, an issue of Metal Edge Magazine came out featuring an “in the studio exclusive” with the band and their “new drummer” Eric Singer recording their upcoming “Revenge” album. I had been reading Metal Edge since it’s inception in 1985. By then, I knew that your best gal pal, Gerri Big Foot Miller prepped her issues three months in advance. Contrary to popular opinion around here, I can add 2+2, and knew that Eric was laying sick in the hospital when that interview had been done.

I still have that issue in a box somewhere.

People dump on Gene and call him the “greedy Jew” and a “miserable” human being. But he wasn’t “above” co-writing songs with Eric and including Eric in the or his creative process or treating Eric like a bandmate, human being. Even that Hitler loving, drunk Chinaman, Ace Frehley wrote more than one song with Eric during their short-lived stint together in the band.

You know who the one guy in the band who didn’t write with Eric Carr was? Paul Stanley.

[Tommy2Tone84]

Paul Stanley drove Eric Carr mental.

And Mark St John.

Vinnie was probably already mental.

And Peter and Ace also hate him.

I just re-read Peter’s book. He had some issues with Gene but he said Paul was the one that would stab you right in the back.

Paul is a major diva and a poor band leader.

Mark was a poor choice and fit from the start. Poor decision making skills on Paul’s part

Vinnie was as well. But I’ll give Gene some blame on that one.

Paul was a total a**hole to both Peter and Eric. The only drummer he treated right was Erc Singer. Probably since
he prefers blondes.

Paul sucks

[NeonKnite]

Any 'hate' towards Paul is because he turned the band into tribute band.... bad mouths Ace and Peter every chance he gets and thinks his shit doesn't smell.

He deserves everything he gets for making a mockery of everything and miming to tape the last 4 years of his career.

What choice did Paul have?

Sending Ace and Peter to rehab?

He didn't have to turn the band into a tribute band and he could have put his dignity above his bank account, but decided to mime to tape, instead.

If the money is there and that is what you're used to, it must be hard to pass up. And I agree with you in general, when it becomes a Solid Gold performance, maybe it's time to retire from live performing. My wife recently went to see Cyndi Lauper's farewell tour. Cyndi barely toured her entire career but somehow stayed visible. I guess this a high production tour (I haven't bothered to look for clips), but no more touring though she said she's not retiring from music. Paul could have done something else with the KISS brand, if he's creative enough. If their legacy is the avatars, hoo boy.

Once you get to a certain level, you aren't a band, you are a brand. Almost nobody is going to turn down being paid tens of millions of dollars over something like that, especially when not enough people care.

I'd be interested in how much money the KISS machine brings in (gross) in a year without them doing anything. All the passive income from merch and anything else (those restaurants Simmons and Stanley own or license their names), etc. More money adds to the pile at a certain point, but it is inconsequential in their daily lives. It's not the same category, but Musk could give every person in the world $1B and still have billions and billions for himself. I'm waiting for a wire transfer.

Darn it. I've been standing by the mailbox for weeks. Sometimes it's wet and cold. Hate that.

Sorry, I fucked up also. I was basing this on a recent headline stating that he could be the world's first trillionaire and meant to say "in the US" and "$1M"...not a billion. JFC, I'm brain-dead from my job.

That's not true either, though.

1 trillion divided by 330 million (roughly the US population) equals 3030.

So he could give each person $3030.

I don't care. I didn't bother to do the math. I should have just said that twat has more money than anyone in the world that could be used to do good in many ways. Half of his wealth was started by someone else. He didn't create Tesla, for instance. He sure as hell ain't helping the company. Half of his projects are half-assed failures (Hyperloop, anyone?), and his autistic brain is set on spending his riches to put a man on Mars when it would be much cheaper and more viable to "fix Earth."

But my original comment was how much KISS rakes in in passive income today without lifting a finger.
